Grace and mercy from God our heavenly Father,
and our Lord Jesus Christ, be to my dear wife and
sister in the Lord, for an affectionate greeting, all
the days of your life, in the true earnestness of the
Holy Ghost. Amen.

I greet you and all my five children most affectionately.
Bring them up in the nurture of the
Lord, and behave yourself as becomes holy women,
in order to teach the young women to be sober, to
love their husbands, to be discreet, chaste, and
obedient to their husbands; and firmly persevere
627
in the same rule in which you stand. Eph. 6:4;
Tit. 2:2.

May the Lord fit you for every good work that
becomes your calling. Herewith I commend you
to Almighty God, and to the word of his grace;
may he grant that we may see each other in eternity.

By me, Joos Verbeeck, your husband, and brother
in the Lord; written at Antwerp in prison,—where
I am confined for the testimony of Jesus Christ—with
my left hand, with great trouble, as my right
hand has been tortured lame.

Greet all the friends, especially the ministers.
